[barbaro tribute] the horse with wings [02:27]
First of all, it's summer which means I have a lottt more time to make videos and hopefully better ones, haha. You can tell I have more time when you don't hear terrible cuts in the music :) I made a horse racing tribute a long long time ago, as in years, and ever since I've wanted to make a better one towards Barbaro. You can argue that horses like Secretariat, Ruffian, Seabiscuit were the best, and they all were great, but Barbaro was special to me. My parents recall watching Secretariat who I wish I could have seen, but I actually got to live through Barbaro's story- his progress, his triumph, his tradgedy, and healing- and the people who went along for the ride like the down to earth Jacksons.. humble and incredible Matz, and Prado. Although it was sad, you have to look back and actually see how amazing he was. He's gone now, but i'm so glad I got to see this horse with so much talent, desire, and heart win. I can't believe it's already been around four years. I didn't want to include the Preakness because I don't like focusing on his breakdown or injury. I climaxed it at the Derby and made it more on how he captured a Nation before his breakdown and gave us hope to witness a true champion. ** I DO NOT CLAIM OWNERSHIP TO ANY CLIPS OR AUDIO USED** Clips are all from the movie Barbaro: A Nation's Horse. Thank you all! (:

--Face Your Fear-- [01:57]
Hope this is at least sliiiiighhhtly epic in some way because I've spent a bit longer on this than any recent video... The bits with the race commentary are supposed to show what can happen when you aren't afraid to try, when faced with the possibility of failure. 100-1 shots sometimes win (Mon Mome's National). Matt Crawley could easily have pulled up Last Rose of Summer in a low grade race at Mussleburgh after his saddle slipped, and no one would have blamed him. But he kept going and jumped about 6 hurdles bareback before riding out a finish to win. And Kauto Star regained the Cheltenham Gold Cup, when every statistic suggested it couldn't be done. When I ride, whether it's exercising, schooling, or in a race, I'm not afraid of falling, I'm afraid of screwing up and letting down the horse, the trainer, the owner etc...In my experience, the biggest fear of failure comes when you're unbeaten. Once you get that first defeat out of the way the risk of failure seems less, as does it's cost. Anyway...that's what the general idea of this video is about. If you're afraid to have a shot at what you want, you'll never have a chance to get it. All the fallers (both horse, and jockey) were fine. I don't like some of the voicover bits in the first half, but the words seemed to fit, so I suppose it doesn't matter what they sound like. Hope you enjoy it :)

Desire... [00:40]
I'm pretty sure no-one else has used this for a horse related video. I'm not going to tell you where it's from because that would probably ruin it, but if you want to find out then you can or type it into google/ you might already know. I used these clips cos I thought more people could relate to them than if I had used racing clips which would have been more relevant to me. Hope you enjoy it, and it's something slightly different from my normal (although I know loads of people do quote videos). :) I own all clips (please don't take), but not the audio.
